Day Eight

Is it Monday already??! I had a different breakfast this morning, well a slightly different breakfast...

6.30am Breakfast

Natural yoghurt, linseeds and blackberries

Breakfast - Yoghurt and Blackberries

I'd just like to point out that the bowls I have my breakfast in aren't cereal bowls, they are little bowls that I got with a Chinese set. Just the perfect size to have yoghurt in!


8.15am Pot of Green Tea
To  get to my office at work, I have to climb a steep stair case, which normally is no problem at all as my legs have got used to it. But climbing the stairs today, I really felt my legs ache after my workouts at the weekend! Charlie Brooks said that you need to do he workout 2-3 times a week and will feel the results in 2 weeks, so I'll try and stick to that and carry on with my Wii Fit as well of course! :)

According to Charlie Brooks, if she can get fit doing this work out, then anyone can! I feel like she looks on the left at the mo lol! So the only way is up I guess! :)


11.15am Snack
Granny Smith apple


12.30pm Lunch
Prawn salad again, but without the chillis this time! lol

Day Eight's Lunch - Prawn Salad

I got home from work and did 15 minutes on my Wii Fitness Coach then another 15 minutes on the Wii Fit, beating yet another score on Step Plus :)

Then I did the dreaded weigh-in and this time the scales said....

That's 6lbs in one week! Not the 7lb I was expecting, but 6lb is close enough and heading in the right direction :)
